Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure implement techniques to allow a base station to transmit a "short-page" message (e.g., paging indicators) to one or more UEs. The short-page message may be decoded by all UEs in the paging cycle and identifies a subset of UEs from the full set of UEs that are paged by the base station. Upon decoding the short page transmitted by the base station, the UE may respond with a "short-page response" to the base station on a transmit beam that offers best signal quality (e.g., low signal-to-noise ratio, transmit power, etc.). Thus, in some examples, the UE, in response to receiving a short paging message, may provide feedback to the base station such that the base station may select a transmit beam for transmission for a subsequent message (and other communications).

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for ontology-based graph query optimization. In an example, ontology data relating to a graph or isolated collection may be collected. The ontology data may comprise uniqueness and topology information and may be used to reformulate a query in order to yield a query that is more performant than the original query when retrieving target information from a graph. In an example, reformulating a query may comprise reordering one or more parameters of the query relating to resources, relationships, and/or properties based on uniqueness information. In another example, the query may be reformulated by modifying the resource type to which the query is anchored based on the topology information. The reformulated query may then be executed to identify target information in the isolated collection, thereby identifying the same target information as the original query, but in a manner that is more performant.

Abstract: The present, disclosure provides therapeutic agents for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other eye disorders. One or more therapeutic agents can be used to treat any stages (including the early, intermediate and advance stages) of AMD, and any phenotypes of AMD, including geographic atrophy (including non-central GA and central GA) and neovascularization (including types L 2 and 3 NV). In certain embodiments, an anti-dyslipidemic agent (e.g., an apolipoprotein mimetic and/or a statin) is used alone to treat or slow the progression of atrophic AMD (including early AMD and intermediate AMD), and/or to prevent or delay the onset of AMD, advanced AMD and/or neovascular AMD. In further embodiments, two or more therapeutic agents (e.g., any combinations of an anti-dyslipidemic agent, an antioxidant, an anti-inilammatoiy agent, a complement inhibitor, a neuroprotector and an anti-angiogenic agent) that target multiple underlying factors of AMD (e.g., fonnation of lipid-rich deposits, oxidative stress, local inflammation, cell death and neovascularization) are used to treat or slow the progression of atrophic AMD (including non- central GA and central GA) or neovascular AMD (including types 1, 2 and 3 NV7), and/or to prevent or delay the onset of AMD, advanced AMD and/or neovascular AMD.
